这是另一位使用猛犸象牙的制作家所写的:
I recently tried fossilized mammoth ivory for the nut and saddle on my instruments, and I now offer it as a standard feature. Compared to the bleached bone that I used formerly, mammoth ivory gives a noticeably smoother, creamier sound, something I attribute to the density (and perhaps homogeneity) of the material.
Currently I purchase ivory from a supplier in Indiana, who travels to Siberia to purchase tusks found in the permafrost. Apparently the tusks are 10,000 years old or more. Mammoth tusks are also found in similar locations in the Yukon. Unlike elephant ivory, mammoth ivory is readily available, and purchasing it doesn’t involve one in the black market.
